Lasting: Marriage Counseling

The info and exercises here are good for helping partners understand each other better and that seems helpful whether you've been married a few weeks or a few decades. I've had a few "Aha!" moments while reading the info after exercises. We're both using the app, purchased year subscription. We haven't compared answers yet but I'm excited to see what kind of discussions it will spark! The interface could be more fun, like adding in a few mini-games that partners could play together.

I really love all the content of this app there's some sections I think could be a little longer and so that can be a little shorter, but overall the content of this app is amazing and has given my husband and I an opportunity to talk about things that we have struggled with. it's helped us have honest conversations without worrying quite as much about hurting the other. However, app functionality could be better. It's hard to revise an answer and sometimes we'll delete really long comments.

This app is horrible. I emailed support, and got the we are aware and are working on it generic response a few weeks ago. I'll complete a module, and it gets completely erased. Also, my partner just let me know he did a few sessions in communication, but it's not showing on my end, nor did I get any notifications he was working on anything, and it deleted it on his end. Do not waste $30 a month on this app until they smooth out the wrinkles.

They make it next to impossible to cancel your subscription so you get stuck in a endless loop of paying $20 a month. We didn't get about use out of it to continue using it but it was so hard to cancel we just kept getting charged. It might actually cost less to just get a real couple counselor. EDIT: They did respond to my email and cancelled my subscription for me. Although I couldn't do it myself, the costumer service in reacting to this was very good. I've updated the stars to reflect this.

Tell us more about your experience: My husband and I are both experiencing error messages, blank screens, and spinning, while manivering through the sessions. We can usally reset by shutting our phones downs. This has become more frequent with the addition of new sessions. We may need to make a decision whether to continue working around the clicthes. It's frustrating. Hope you can get it fixed soon!.

This has helped us soooooooo much, omg. We have committed to doing this app daily. After paying for it, there is an option to pay again for additional features, but we don't think we need those additional features. The regular version is good enough for us. I like that we get to compare answers later. This has given us a good reflection into the minds of each other and have brought us closer. We attended a live class together. This definitely has lead to better communication and understandi

We downloaded this app one month before we were married and promised to keep it for at least our first year. We are two months in now and we love it. We have three kids and a busy schedule. We became stuck in routine and even stopped talking sometimes. This app gets us talking! Great conversation starters. Question comparisons and specific sessions to our marriage needs. Sessions are on our schedules and the app is easy to navigate. Really appreciate the help, Lasting! Thank you. ❤️

This app has really helped to improve our marriage, thank you so much for everything! There are 2 suggestions I have. First of all, if I select an "other" option when answering a question, I should be able to type in what my other option is so my wife can see what I was thinking and I can remember what I was thinking later on. Secondly, when there is an area to write an answer, I can't always select back into the sentence or paragraph, instead the blinking line displays but stays in the samespot

Update: a year later. We didn't use the app for a few months due to $$. But they sent a great offer and now we have a year's subscription! This app helps my marriage! this app has taken our broken relationship and transformed it! we've been together almost 7 years and a few kids later... relationships are HARD. we've been through so much and it has taken a toll. but with lasting we have learned how to communicate again. how to care about each other again. how to prioritize us again!

It started out great. My husband and I were completing sessions and discussing during the 7 day trial, so I paid for the 3 month subscription. Immediately after my card was charged, the app refused to allow us to continue, because we needed to purchase a subscription. There's no immediate resolution, so now we are just wasting time and money in our 3 months waiting for someone to fix this problem. If we don't get a resolution, I will just have to contact VISA. I hate there is no one to call!

Idk how I even found this but I have been using it just myself and it helps in many aspects of life, including in the workplace and how you interact with others, period. I guess the first sign of a failed marriage is the husband not caring to partake?!?! Hahaha unfortunately an app can't help THAT. However, personal growth and learning is never ending and this app does it in such a simple, clean-cut, easy way. Totally recommend for ANYONE wanting personal growth.

Too many bugs and way too expensive. Broke couples need therapy, too, expecially because the app recognizes how money stressors affect relationships. I was very stressed out by the overwhelming number of prompts and the open ended nature of the discussion in the on boarding questionnaire. The positive agreement between us was listed first, sure, but we didn't touch it. So it was just a very negative initial experience with the app. Could be better.

I like the app. It's just that my husband has never been a very strong reader. He gets discouraged by all of the reading and never finishes the activity. At the beginning of a session it reads out loud to you. I really wish it did that with all of the text. Despite being a strong reader myself, I would actually prefer the option to have the text read aloud. It helps some people with retention as well.

It is useful as long as both partners are working with each other through it. One issue I had was with the daily conversation starter. It is meant to obscure your partner's answer until you answer it, but instead when you submit your answer, it sends a notification to your partner, meant to prompt them to give their answer and start the conversation, which instead contains the obscured text. As a result, your partner never actually needs to answer the question to see your response.

EDIT** I LOVED THIS APP! My husband and I used it everyday for almost a year. We got new phones and totally forgot all about this app for about 2yrs and just recently re-downloaded it just to find out that you can't hardly do anything anymore without paying a $30/month subscription! Super disappointed! It was an amazing app and I might have paid a subscription before, but $30/month is ridiculous. I'm uninstalling.

Really love the app! I think it is worth the money. I appreciate that there is a place where all of the resources are compiled for me. I don't have to go searching for it. I miss the animals that they showcased for the methods and pitfalls. The animal stories and facts, helped solidify the concepts in my mind. CONS: 7/7/20 There have been a few bugs recently having to do with notifications, it's annoying but not enough to stop using the app I paid for.

I love this app. It's really been very helpful with our issues and has helped us develop a way of communicating with out fear of awkwardness,being embarrassed or whatever someone may feel when baring their all. Id give 5stars EXCEPT for 1 issue. The spot where you can type your own answer, under 'other', if you leave app for few minutes, all you just typed dissappear, and you can't copy it incase you want to finish writing it later (since if you don't hit done and leave app open, it disappears)
